Beatles Revolver Box Set (Dolby Atmos Mix available for streaming; No Blu-Ray)

[JediJoker]

Dolby Atmos speaker layouts use one LFE channel (either 9.1.6, 7.1.4 or 5.1.4)

Always? I'm pretty sure most professionals use two.

It's a substitute in the same sense as a Camaro is substitute for a Corvette. They both are decent cars and they will both get you the same place, but come on, get real.

My point is the Camaro is the only substitute offered.

The analogy here is your Corvette breaks down and rather than drive the Camaro offered to you as a substitute you choose to just stay home.

And some might. And there's nothing wrong with that. But no one should be surprised when most people take the Camaro because they have places they need to go and things they want to do.

For Atmos on BD and consumer AVR playback its 16 channel max with 1 LFE. I started mixing Atmos and the Dolby spec is definitely 1 LFE. RA360 supports 24 channels with 2 LFEs.

I agree, and that is why in my original post I said, "I would never say never to streaming". So I will change my original statement to "It is a poor substitute for an actual physical blu-ray".
Is that better?

Now, would you like to know how I really feel?

This is how I feel too. What a f'n stupid decision after all the other sets.
Ugh, I was soooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to this.

Food companies have reformulated products (ie to use real vs fake colors) based on less than 10% losses of sales, wish it was higher though haha.

I know nothing about AndrewDixonMusic & with all due respect; those results mean little.
What would the results be to that survey here at QQ?
I know how I'd vote: a deal breaker!

Me neither - it was just the only survey I found on Twitter. The final score was about the same, 333 votes total.

Sure, I know we all want that Sgt Pepper/Revolver two-fer BD-A here.

So no BluRay. Fine. Then why even put out the box? For the book and the pictures? Just stream the whole damn thing.

If you're not going to put the 5.1 mix on a disc, just don't sell the discs at all. Why should surround fans have to resort to streaming while the stereo fans get their discs?

How many homes these days even have a CD player?

Yes, it does feel kind of personal doesn't it?
Like they are going out of their way to screw us.

I don't mind going discless if we can get flac for download; stereo or multi-channel as appropriate.
I do mind being forced into a stream.

It seems ridiculous and foolish to worry about the environmental impact of a plastic product with a shelf life of 100 years, when we throw away billions of one use plastic bottles every year.

 

[Bender]

I wish there was a way I could turn a stream into a 5.1 dvd-a for car use, which has become my most used listening environment. I can't stream in a car.

There's literally a paper on how streaming music is causing more environmental harm than CDs.

 

[OldAsMono]

The ONLY possible good outcome is they didn’t like Gil’s Atmos mix and are waiting to see how Steven does “with only 4 tracks”

Plus, in this case, the 'Music Box' (cover) might be 100% biodegradable, but was being shipped around the globe still.

It looks like I am not the only one that may be passing on this set. May I humbly suggest to anyone who is not buying this because of the absence of a multi-channel disc take a moment and reach out to the official pages on whatever social media you use.
There is something to be said for voting with one's wallet, and telling them the reason you are going to sit this one out may get them to rethink things.
Remixes are interesting, but I rarely revisit them after the initial spin.
For me it's always been about the alternate takes, as well as the 5.1 discs.

Kudos to the Lennon solo camp for including 5.1 as well as quad mixes. That's really doing it right.

Was Greta Thunberg singing background on it? ....How dare you

I'm seriously going to have to remove this thread from my sight. I can't stand the heartache any more.
